Tho Wild Roses of Dakota.
The Dakota Bell.

Dakota should be called the Land of
Roses. There is no other place in the
world where they are SO numerous or
where they take on so many delicate
tints ranging from the pure white to
the deep rich red; covering the prairie,
swaying and ncdding al day in the
breeze, making it seem like some great
rose-garden.
Now, the first of July, they are just
past their best. The first are found the
latter part of May and all through
June they stay at their height. They
are still almost as numerous and will
linger for several weeks to come; and
during the latter part of this month
and fore part of August millions of
them which have crept into the wheat
fields will be cut and tied UP with the
grain by the self-binders which gather
Dakota's harvest-those which grow
among the grain being shaded more,
thus making them somewhat later
than the ones which bloom on their
native prairie.
| They are all the simple fye-pctaled
wild rose, through occasionally ONE
| will be found in richer soil, in which
there are few extra petals growing
out of the center, but none the hand
somer for that; nor would it be were it
as double as the tame roses OF the gar
den. The pure white ones-are not very
numerous; there is usually just touch
OF pink at least like Il blush-or some
| times they are slightly mottled, the
white petal being sprinkled with red,
each speck blending into the white; or
again quite dark red in the center and
gradually fading into white towards
the outer edge.
But by far the most numerous are
the red ones, some lighter. some darker,
giving the prairie sunrise glow as one
faces the breeze and sees thousands of
them ever rising aud falling just above
| the waving grass, with faces all turned
in one direction--away from the wind.
Perhaps they will be only Il few inches
above the ground, and then again
where the grass is tall by a lake or
river, two or three feet; and sometimes
a little bush will boast but asingle flow
er or bud, and then perhaps there will
be fifty with three times as many buds.
And wherever they are, and that is al
most everywhere, they are always look
ing above the bending grass and max
ing she prairie seem like /; great en-
ehanted waving plain almost till the
1 golden-rod and its autumn companions
bring us The days of purple and gold.

King solomon's Diamond Mines.

Julian Hawthorn, who ought to be a
good judge. says of H. Rider Haggard's
story Of King Solomon's Mines
"There is no story of adventure that
surpasses it." That seems to be the
popular verdict. Everybody is reading
it or talking about it. Or course there
are no end of editions published, from
cloth bound at $3.50 to the Seaside Lib
rary edition at 20 cents. And, as might
be expected, the cheapest of all is " The
Literary Revolution edition which in
large type, unabridged, sells for cents
in paper covers, or 20 cents in cloth
binding. Specimen chapters are sent
free to anyone asking for them. 1t is
a source of amazement to look through
one of the Revolution 64-page cata-
logues (sent free to any applicant,) and
note the literary riches to be secured
almost "for song" Ifyou have never
seen catalogue, or have seen none re-

A newspaper is primarily CONNER
cial enterprise, whose proprietors are
engaged in the trade of buying and
selling news and of furnishing the
various members of society with the
means of making known to each other
their wants and trade facilities. Out

reformatory and educational enterprise;
bnt these latter phases are bound to be
largely subservient to the commercial

THE BRIDGE ACCIDENT.
Several Bad Defects in the Structure Lo-
Gated.

Several Bad Defects in the Structure Lo-
Gated.
NEW YORK, March 16.-The Evening
News having investigated the Forest Hill
disaster, on the Boston and Providence
Railroad, will publish the following in re-
gard to it in this weeks issue: This
dreadful catastrophe has been very OBJ
scure. All the newspaper accounts agree
to one thing, that the bridge
was q sort of patchwork nondescript,
which violated several of the important
and fundamental requirements of good
bridge designing. We are fortunately
able to shed more light on what was the
precise cause than has appeared or than
is likely to appear from any other source,
even IN an official Investigation, from the
fact that we have in our Office what will
probably BE the most important bit of ev-
idence in that investigation, viz, two
original parts, which in all human proba-
bility were the first to break. These
parts are in possession of Henry S. Prit-
chard, a civil engineer and q practical
bridge engineer Of Philadelphia, who IN
dertoOk to CritiCallyeXamre the structure.
In connection with further Information
gathered for US after the accident &C.
Cured by Frederick Brooks, civil engl-
neer of Boston, these fragments may be
absolutely conclusive as to he real diff
fiCulty, as it is impossible that there
should have been more defective parts in
the bridge il it was to stand up. The
parts which broke were the two hangers
which carried the most easterly pair of
beams OF the nOrtherly or last built truss,
the truss which carried the load. So far
as can be judged they are made from good
iron. They are of very bad design and
most impeTfeCtly welded. In ad-
dition to that they are
both very badly faWed by old rusted
breaks at most sections, there Ibeing two
distinct breaks of this kind. The first
hanger has both breaks across the weld,
the first break being complete and the
second all but complete, the metal merely
hanging together by the outside skin.
This hanger can never have done any
work since it's original fracture or it
would have broken apartlong since. The
| second hanger was checked across halfits
inside face, covered by supposed YIELDS
| for about habits depth of effective section,
and this was clearly where the fracture
! first began. 1t caused q secondary frac-
ture at the second break in the nook of
the welded end, which cut off the larger
portion Of the effective strength of the
| iron. All this is clearly shown in the en-
cravings of the bridge and it's broken
! parts which appear in this issue, and the
! general judgment of the engineers " Ii
bear us out. More shamefuIly bad spec
mems of bridge design, metal aud work
manship, can hardly exist.
